Not a camper? Consider a day trip for hiking, a family gathering or a swim. Check ahead with your destination for availability of swimming and hours of operation.

Remember to make reservations for fall camping. It's one of the most popular times of year to camp.

"October has become like the busy month of July for our parks and reservoirs," said Christie Wilmoth of the DNR Division of State Parks & Reservoirs. "With so much to see and do at our Halloween and fall festival weekends, you won't want to miss out on all of the activities we have planned."
